75 Years of Elevating Health

As we look to the future, we stand on the shoulders of those who laid our foundation 75 years ago, and we have much to be grateful for.

We’re committed to maintaining our status as an independent, private, nonprofit health system. Local control ensures our decisions directly benefit those we serve.

Our focus is being exceptional. We’re exceptional because it’s in our DNA. We’re exceptional because our team lives our values. Our commitment to our patients will never waiver. Our mission is to provide exceptional, compassionate, patient-centered care. And that’s what we do, day in, and day out.

There are so many people that make it happen. Our team, our board of directors, our donors, community leaders, and the patients who trust us with their care. All working together as stewards to ensure that when you need care and in your most vulnerable times, you have peace-of-mind that your caregivers are world-class.

We’re honored to be the provider of choice in the Texas Hill Country.

Thank you for trusting us with your healthcare.

What patients say about Peterson Health

When I called 911 that evening, I honestly prepared myself to not see my dad alive again after that due to how quickly and severely he had fallen sick. After his negative COVID results came back, I walked into his ER room about 30 minutes after we arrived and he was alert (he was even smiling!) and receiving the necessary medications and treatments to help him. Immediately, everyone began helping him as a TEAM between each department quickly and efficiently to ensure my dad was taken care of and comfortable. It's almost like they were Angels bringing him back to me! I knew he was in the very BEST hands! My dad hasn't stopped talking about how greatly his opinion of Peterson hospital has changed after the phenomenal care he's received over the past couple of days. He said everyone is being so helpful and caring, thoughtful, and shows its a TEAM effort! He has so much more respect for PRMC and the staff and is so appreciative of everyone. He didn't stop bragging on how helpful and nice everyone has been to him and our family.
